posted Monday, October 02, 2017 1:12:05 PMyou could break down pretty much all instrumental hip hop albums as just being glorified beat tapes though. my only issue with the project is that the length lowers replay value a bit but i still think it's dope and pretty ambitious, especially for damu. for the most part the beats on there are progressive instead of one loop being repeated over and over again the atmosphere and overall vibe of the album kinda reminds me of fat jon, dday one, dj krush, etc so i dig it. it's just a little too long to listen to all the time, like i would with other instrumental projects. the most i listen to it though the more i enjoy it i'm also used to other genres of music where the average song length is 8-10 minutes so maybe that has something to do with it.

posted Monday, October 02, 2017 1:31:43 PMyeah i guess not lo. vignettes definitely feels like an album to me, compared to producers like dilla, knxwledge, swarvy, elaquent, illingsworth, flamingosis, philanthrope, etc. it's much closer to endtroducing than it is to donuts imo.

posted Monday, October 02, 2017 1:43:01 PMi don't understand how but if you're being serious then that's cool. i can't stand that dudes voice or those stupid repetitive gun noise adlibs, that's the most annoying thing ever to me.

posted Monday, October 02, 2017 1:48:14 PMi look at him as a homage to the mixtape era. he reminds me of those dvds where they freestyle on the street in the dark like an inch from the camera and u cant see shit lol good ol bootleg dvd days.

posted Monday, October 02, 2017 1:51:24 PMoh i get that, and i can get behind the whole aesthetic and appreciate that aspect of it, but i just don't like his rapping at all. not something i can really help, i must have listened to flygod straight through 6 or 7 times and a few of this other projects and ended up just being annoyed lol.

kendrick dropped from 6 to 11, getting bumped out of my top 10. still like the album a lot but these other projects have more replay value for me personally. i put rome ahead of known unknowns, it grows on me with every listen. those dudes are just so good together, and i feel like their best work is usually whenever they collab. it's that steel sharpens steel mentality, where it seems like billy woods and elucid are trying their best to out rap eachother on every track. elucid snapped on that album.

LMFAO a loser that enjoys listening to a constant L taker who is going upstate to get pounded on the regular, not that he won't be used to it as he used to have Nicki Minaj's dick up his pooper.
